Q: How to Remove and Replace a Driveaxle?A: Set the parking brake, loosen lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and remove the wheel. Unstake the axle shaft/hub nut, remove the brake caliper and disc, disconnect the tie-rod end, and separate the control arm balljoint. Slide the axle shaft out of the hub, place a drain pan under the inner CV joint, and remove the heat shield. Pry out the inner CV joint, slide the intermediate shaft out, and clean the splines on both CV joints. Apply grease to the inner CV joint, seat the snap-ring, and ensure it's seated. Insert the splined shaft into the differential gears, install the bearing bolts, and tighten them. Install the heat shield, tighten the strut bolts, and stake the axle shaft/hub nut. Check and add transaxle lubricant if needed, and tighten the lug nuts.
